RE: What are you working on? - isburai - 01-22-2010
thanks for the info, might try that one coz tamiya masking tape is kinda expensive, and i'm really having a hard time using ordinary masking tape because the adhesive is so strong the paint comes off.
RE: What are you working on? - Trace-02 - 01-22-2010
er... Armak brand masking tape IS just regular masking tape. I just reverse the procedure of masking by painting the permanent, non-chipping colors first, Mask with regular masking tape, THEN I paint the semi-permanent, easy to chip off colors.
I did it the hardererered way.
I think nobody will believe me if I said I masked the panel lines to paint it gold......
RE: What are you working on? - isburai - 01-23-2010
oh ok! now i get it, thanks again for the info, you masked the panel lines?! wow, tyaga ah. hehe!

Masking is Trace's Forte, Tapos, yung sa akin I think is modding, daming oras eh (ngayon wala munang free time), Yung kay Fox, flirting naman. Este, painting pala.

Ack! I was just kidding with this. <:3 I can show you guys how I did it on the next kitty meet. I hear DT has some big plans. XD Nice to se serene posting here againg.
Current Projects:
1. scrapped CRONUS restoration
2. Immaterial's Busou Shinki repaint.
Man... That Cronus restoration was a total pain, not to mention a total wtf when I disassembled it and found it had been totally infested with ANTS.

AMIDA infestation!
RE: What are you working on? - Fox - 01-25-2010
Quick, break out the flamethrowers!
RE: What are you working on? - Immaterial - 01-26-2010
Cronus:
Now with live mini organisms. XD
RE: What are you working on? - Trace-02 - 01-27-2010
Thanks to that AMIDA infestation, I'm placing the CRONUS on hold. >___<
My current project (since I'm in the painting and masking mood nowadays):
Virtual On Marz Temjin Shadow by Hasegawa.

Man. The colors look really good! The only thing that sucks is the kit is totally dull out-of-box.
The full kit, sealed and sanded:

Will start with the priming and masking soon. >:3
RE: What are you working on? - Fox - 01-27-2010
Whoa, near-Nineball colors! I wanna see how this turns out.
RE: What are you working on? - Trace-02 - 01-27-2010
Nyup! The only difference it has with the Nineball is the silver paint.
I know arch_angel will like this project.
RE: What are you working on? - Serene - 01-28-2010
Woah~ Sweet Sweetness~! I want so see the finished product!
RE: What are you working on? - Trace-02 - 01-29-2010
Temjin Shadow update!
External and internals primed with Meta Black and Silver. :3 It already looks much better than the standard base color Hasegawa molded the kit with.

![[Image: TemjinShadow06.jpg]](http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z193/Trace-02/Mykits/TemjinShadow06.jpg)
Partial assembly and masking start! (The masking part, I'm not really looking forward to. Since Pylox brand paints are such a pain to work with, I'm gonna start painting the large areas first, mask, and then paint the details after. <:3)
![[Image: TemjinShadow07.jpg]](http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z193/Trace-02/Mykits/TemjinShadow07.jpg)
The red parts paquinted after getting primed with silver. :3
![[Image: TemjinShadow08.jpg]](http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z193/Trace-02/Mykits/TemjinShadow08.jpg)
....and I got a little impatient and started to paquint the upper torso with Silver. Masking this part was pretty easy, but I'm thinking about how I'll mask the rest of the parts before I paquint the little ovals red.

That's it for this update. Currently detailing the Red and Grey parts (not shown) with panels.
